Psalms 65

1 To the end, a psalm of David. The canticle of Jeremias and Ezechiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go out. A Hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David: a Song. Praise waiteth for thee in silence, O God, in Zion; and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

2 O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

3 The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.

Iniquities have prevailed against me: our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.

4 Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and taken to thee: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be filled with the good things of thy house; holy is thy temple,

Blessed is he whom thou choosest and causest to approach: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, of thy holy temple.

5 Wonderful in justice. Hear us, O God our saviour, who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off.

By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, thou confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the distant regions of the sea. ...

6 Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:

Who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with power;

7 Who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,

Who stilleth the raging of the seas, the raging of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.

8 And they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.

And they that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens; thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

9 Thou hast visited the earth, and hast plentifully watered it; thou hast many ways enriched it. The river of God is filled with water, thou hast prepared their food: for so is its preparation.

Thou hast visited the earth, thou hast watered it; thou greatly enrichest it: the river of God is full of water; thou providest their corn, when thou hast so prepared it:

10 Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.

Thou dost satiate its furrows, thou smoothest its clods, thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof.

11 Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: and thy fields shall be filled with plenty.

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness:

12 The beautiful places of the wilderness shall grow fat: and the hills shall be girded about with joy,

They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, and the hills are girded with gladness.

13 The rams of the flock are clothed, and the vales shall abound with corn: they shall shout, yea they shall sing a hymn.

The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, yea, they sing.
